Default My new toy
I think i may have gotten the ultimate deal on this car. Its been for sale for a long time on a local forum and i picked it up saturday.





The engine runs perfect, the paint is in very good condition for a original 97and all that it needs is a new tranny, but it may just need tranny work...

Got it for a grand total of 1300 cash.

NICE find. Good luck with it. Are you gonna keep it and mod it or repair and sell for profit?

Sweet ride and deal. And those look like Y2K vette rims if i'm not mistaken. Last owner must've been hard up for money or just tired of having it.
